Job Description
CDL A Truck Driver Columbus, OH 43004 Regional Northeast freight with weekend home time and a Monday through Friday operating schedule. CK Transportation is hiring a CDL A driver for a Columbus-based position built around consistent freight lanes instead of constantly changing routes. This fleet runs repeat Midwest and Northeast corridors where volume stays steady, allowing drivers to keep miles predictable and plan their week with fewer surprises. A typical week begins with outbound freight early in the workweek, followed by planned reloads through established shipping lanes in Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, and surrounding states. Drivers normally return by Friday, allowing a full weekend reset at home before the next dispatch cycle begins. Route Snapshot Regional Northeast dry van freight Monday through Friday schedule Home every weekend Mostly drop-and-hook loads Consistent repeat lanes Because freight is planned ahead of time, drivers are not waiting on last-minute dispatch decisions or losing hours searching for the next load.

A $1,200 weekly pay protection is available when eligibility requirements are met. Paychecks are processed every Friday.
